Queries on Recovery Period?
Refractive errors develop when the shape of the eye prevents the light from focusing correctly on the retina (light-sensitive tissue layer located at the back of the eye).
LASIK procedure helps reshape the cornea (the transparent front part of the eye) to correct this. The common refractive errors that can be treated using LASIK surgery include the following:
- Myopia (nearsightedness): Distant objects appear blurry.
- Hyperopia (farsightedness): Nearby objects appear unclear.
- Astigmatism (blurred vision): Distorted or blurred vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea.
The common symptoms associated with refractive errors include the following:
- Blurred vision
- Frequent squinting
- Eye strain or fatigue
- Headaches
- Difficulty seeing at night or while driving
- Increased glare and halos around lights
Not everyone is eligible for LASIK surgery. At GEI, a thorough evaluation by our eye experts determines whether you are a good fit for LASIK. You may be a candidate for the procedure if:
- You are over 18 years of age.
- Your vision has been stable for at least one year.
- You have good eye health.
- You have a healthy cornea and no severe dry eyes.
- You have good overall health.
- You do not have conditions like glaucoma or uncontrolled diabetes.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

At GEI, we use the following step-by-step approach while delivering the best LASIK eye surgery in Zirakpur:
Preoperative Evaluation
Our eye specialists at GEI will first perform a comprehensive eye examination and ask about your symptoms. Additionally, some tests may be recommended to assess the type and severity of refractive error needing correction and to determine if you are the right candidate for LASIK surgery. These tests include:
- Visual acuity and refraction tests
- Corneal thickness (pachymetry)
- Corneal mapping and topography
- Pupil size assessment
- Eye pressure measurement
- Review of medical and ocular history
If you are considered to be a good candidate for LASIK, the following pre-operative instructions will be provided as a preparatory step for the procedure:
- Discontinue contact lenses 1 to 2 weeks before undergoing eye evaluation.
- Avoid eye makeup, creams, or lotions for 24 hours prior to surgery.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
The LASIK Surgery Process
The following steps are performed on the day of your LASIK appointment:
- Numbing eye drops are applied.
- An eyelid holder and suction ring are placed by the eye surgeon to stabilize the eye.
- A femtosecond laser or microkeratome (blade) is used to create a thin flap in the cornea.
- The flap is gently lifted, and an excimer laser is then used to reshape the underlying tissue based on your prescription.
- The flap is then repositioned without stitches.
The entire process is quick and painless and is usually completed in less than 30 minutes.
Post-Surgical Recovery and Care
After undergoing the LASIK surgery you can expect the following:
- Vision may be blurred for a couple of hours after surgery. Vision sharpness usually improves by the next day.
- Mild irritation, dryness, or tearing may occur after the procedure.
- Avoid rubbing your eyes for a week after LASIK.
- Use prescribed eye drops and follow medication instructions.
- Wear protective eyewear or sunglasses for outdoor exposure.
- Attend follow-up visits on Day 1, Week 1, and after a month.
Grewal Eye Institute offers the latest LASIK options tailored to each patient’s eye condition and expectations. The various types of LASIK techniques offered include the following:
1. Traditional Microkeratome LASIK
- Involves using a mechanical blade to create the flap.
- Cost-effective and suitable for certain patients with thicker corneas.
2. Bladeless Femto LASIK
- Uses a femtosecond laser to create the flap instead of a blade.
- Provides enhanced precision and reduces complications.
- Especially safe for those with thin corneas.
3. Custom Wavefront LASIK
- Uses 3D wavefront mapping to identify optical imperfections.
- Targets both lower and higher-order aberrations.
- Delivers sharper vision and better quality of sight.
4. Contoura Vision (Topography-Guided LASIK)
- Uses corneal topography and wavefront data for customized correction.
- Offers better night vision and reduced glare/halos.
- Ideal for patients with irregular corneal surfaces.

Is LASIK a permanent solution for vision correction?
Yes, in most cases, LASIK offers permanent correction for vision problems. However, age-related vision changes like presbyopia (age-related reading problems) can occur later in life, usually after the age of 40.
Is LASIK surgery painful?
No, the LASIK procedure is generally painless. Numbing drops are used before starting the procedure to cause minimal or no discomfort during the procedure. The patient may only feel mild pressure but no pain during the procedure.
How long is the recovery time following LASIK surgery?
Initial recovery following LASIK surgery is within 24 to 48 hours, but full healing can take up to 3 to 6 months for optimal vision stability.
Can LASIK correct both eyes with different vision problems?
Yes, LASIK can be customized to correct different refractive errors in each eye. GEI’s advanced diagnostic systems help plan personalized treatment for each eye to ensure balanced, high-quality vision.
Can both eyes be treated at the same time using LASIK surgery?
Yes, both eyes are usually treated in the same treatment session using LASIK surgery, unless medical conditions suggest otherwise.
